Crawl Space Repair Before & After Photos

This home sat on top of a crawl space that had been sectioned off by concrete blocks. When we encapsulated this crawl space we knew that the areas with an interior foundation wall would not require additional insulation so we were able to seal our CleanSpace matting directly to the interior foundation wall. The matting we used gives the crawl space a very clean look while creating an environment that is no longer musty. 

After meeting us at the Duluth Home Show, homeowners in Beaver Bay, MN reached out to DBS regarding the crawl space of their home. Crawl spaces with exposed earth are prone to fluctuating humidity, creating moisture and mold issues. This was concerning for the owner, as it can cause damage to the home and foundation as well as raise health issues. 

A DBS Design Specialist visited the home and provided a free, no-obligation estimate for the crawl space encapsulation service. It was determined that the crawl space would have CleanSpace® installed to act as a vapor barrier for the area. The DBS Foreman and crew laid the vapor barrier throughout the space to prevent the spread of moisture, and also added TerraBlock™ insulation to the space. Finally, a SaniDry™ dehumidifier will curb moisture levels due to temperature fluctuation in the space. 

The homeowners were happy with the work done and now a clean and dry crawl space. 

This crawl space was obviously quite dusty and with several vents and protrusions to the home above this area the musty smells and dusty air were easily entering the home. DBS Residential Solutions was able to remedy the situation present in this damp crawl space by insulating and encapsulating the entire crawl space. This process separated the home from the dirt floor below. 

Facing an unusable room filled with old junk and dangerously rotted floor joists in Park Falls, WI, the homeowner reached out to us for help. Our task was ambitious – to not only clear the clutter but to transform the space, ensuring safety and deterring future rodent invasions. By leveraging our CleanSpace®, SaniDry™ Sedona systems, along with SmartDrain®, Mold-X2, and sister joists, we dramatically turned the tide.

Notice in the photos how we lifted the room from despair to dazzling. The previously rotted joists and pillars teetering on collapse are revived with robust support, creating a bone-dry, immaculate crawlspace. Thanks to SmartDrain® and Mold-X2, we ensured proper moisture control and mold prevention, while the sister joists offer superior strength and stability. No more do caretakers worry about the integrity or habitability of the space. With DBS, it's not just a repair; it’s a rejuvenation for years to come.
